Ch 109: Chu Mo: My Power as the Great Emperor is Limitless!

Chu Mo inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, finally completed. With a thought, the mythical shadow of Mount Langjuxu gradually disappeared!

After several breaths, the power of the Heavenly Khan detached from him—

Heroic Spirit Interference, ended!

Although Chu Mo’s expression didn’t change, he felt a lingering sense of reluctance in his heart. In terms of strength alone, the Heavenly Khan was merely touching the edge of the Transcendent First Realm, which was insignificant compared to Chu Mo’s current Tenth Revolution, Half-Step Transcendent Seventh Realm.

But the problem was, what made Heroic Spirits powerful was their authority.

Chu Mo finally understood why, even though there were a very small number of cultivators in the Main World who had cultivated to realms comparable to Heroic Spirits, Heroic Spirits were still the absolute mainstream—the skills of Heroic Spirits were too buggy.

In a sense, they were equivalent to the supernatural powers Chu Mo had obtained, especially those purple Heroic Spirit skills, whose power was even more unbelievable.

Every Heroic Spirit skill, to some extent, contained the power of concepts—even a red Heroic Spirit skill, after awakening, could still provide great help to a powerhouse who had walked far on the path of cultivation.

Whether it was the “Demonic Lord Over All,” which could interfere with Qi Luck techniques that had not been Heroic Spirit-ized… or “Demon Control,” which forced Heavenly Demons and Demonic Humans whose strength was insufficient to kneel down. It was all like this!

Without the Heavenly Khan’s Heroic Spirit Interference, Chu Mo would never have thought of using this method to usurp the Yuan Court’s power. All he could do was completely defeat Tokto’a, then return to Gaoyou, help Zhu Yuanzhang, recuperate, train an unprecedentedly powerful army, and launch a northern expedition to pacify the world.

Dismissing the thoughts in his mind, Chu Mo calmly said, “Rise!”

The numerous Heavenly Demons and Human ministers silently got up, bowing their heads respectfully to Chu Mo. The scene was eerily quiet.

“Reorganize and plan!” Chu Mo said leisurely, “The Secretaries and Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, stay behind for a moment. I will personally plan what policies the Northern Court should use!”

“Ministry of War.”

Chaghan Temur instantly looked up.

“For the time being, don’t consider the affairs of the South,” Chu Mo pondered slightly, “The Heavenly Demon army that suffered a major defeat at the Huai River should be returning soon. The first thing to do should be to give them a buffer period to recover.”

“And, using them as the backbone, summon Heavenly Demons to join the army again! I need to expand the Heavenly Demon army to 500,000… I’m talking about the Heavenly Demon army, pure-blooded Heavenly Demons, or Demonic Humans containing Heavenly Demon blood, not including those human auxiliary soldiers.”

“…But?!” Chaghan Temur was dumbfounded. Did this new Great Emperor think that they didn’t want to expand the army in the past? But the problem was…

“There’s no money, and many of the Heavenly Demons in the city are descendants of high-ranking nobles. In fact, many of them have relatives with the Great Emperor… Uh.” Chaghan Temur suddenly stopped, realizing that this new Great Emperor had no connection with the Heavenly Demons of the previous Yuan dynasty.

Considering that he came from beyond the heavens, perhaps there were not many beings in this world who had established connections with him…

“Cultivation resources and wealth, I will solve it.” Chu Mo said calmly, “As for the descendants of those high-ranking nobles… you understand what I mean! By imperial decree, if they are unwilling to contribute to the empire, then they can rest in peace and die.”

The corners of Chaghan Temur’s mouth twitched, and he nodded silently, his eyes flashing with excitement and cruel light, “With your words, I am completely relieved.”

“Then…” After Chu Mo pondered for a moment, he said, “Bring me the maps of the Four Khanates… After summoning the new army, first fight the Four Khanates to practice, and then consider the next step when we have enough strength.”

◈◈◈

Chaghan Temur: “…?!”

Chaghan Temur was stunned for a moment. So, why not fight the South? The Humans in the South were easier to deal with than their compatriots on the grasslands… right?!

Chaghan Temur felt that there were so many things to complain about that he couldn’t describe them in words. He even suspected for a moment that this Great Emperor was a Kublai Khan-style Khan?

Bringing Human noble families to attack and plunder their compatriots on the grasslands?!

But soon, Chaghan Temur reacted. The Heavenly Demon army had suffered an unprecedented defeat on its way south. And according to intelligence, it was suspected that they were defeated by a Sage!

Perhaps, this Sage Heavenly Demon Great Emperor saw that Human Sage, and as a fellow Sage, clearly perceived the other party’s terror and horror. Even with the Great Emperor’s strength, he didn’t have the slightest certainty of taking down the other party, so he was preparing to go to the grasslands to harvest crops first?!

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chaghan Temur respectfully nodded.

Chu Mo waved his hand, “Retreat!”

Chu Mo’s authority, or rather, his fierce power, was too heavy, too heavy. Countless ministers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After kneeling and kowtowing, they scurried out of the majestic hall as if fleeing.

Afterward, Chu Mo stared strangely at the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel who were still left behind, their faces crestfallen. After thinking about it, he said bluntly, “Alright, follow me.”

“…Wait!” Zhang Chang’s expression changed slightly, “Great Your Majesty, what are you doing… Shouldn’t we go to the Ministry of Revenue first to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous information?”

Zhang Chang felt a little numb, suddenly thinking that this person might not have experienced formal education… Although it was quite strange to be able to become a Sage, he might not even know how to govern the world at all.

However…

“Arithmetic, can’t calculate any money!” Chu Mo rolled his eyes, “At this time, you should pick up the butcher knife! I just want money, whether it’s Human money, Heavenly Demon money, or Demonic Human money.”

Thus, the Heavenly Demon nobles and Human noble families in Dadu welcomed the terrifying butcher knife of the newly enthroned Great Emperor.

And after Chaghan Temur took over the authority of the Heavenly Demon army, he was somewhat surprised and uncertain when he learned that there was still a Heavenly Demon Khan stationed in the army half an incense stick ago. Wasn’t the Great Emperor in the imperial palace before?

How did he manage to be in both the imperial palace and the army at the same time?!

However, Chaghan Temur didn’t think too much about it.

After all, it might be some kind of illusion, or that Great Emperor had mastered some other divine authority secret technique. He himself, as the Grand Marshal of the Army, was already very taboo, so how dare he pry into the Emperor’s secrets?

Although, this one seemed to be a little different from the previous Great Emperors… His courage and aura were astonishing!

However, after sorting out the affairs here and returning to the city… Chaghan Temur stared blankly at the replenished national treasury, and the sentence: The Great Emperor has left Dadu with the Imperial Guards to confiscate property in other places.

At this moment, Chaghan Temur’s mentality was a little broken. No, you’re directly attacking the aristocratic families… If you provoke them, they will rebel directly!

It’s only the South now, if you push them too hard, the fire will burn to the North… At that time, the Yuan dynasty will really have lost even its base?!

“Did I overestimate this Emperor?!” Chaghan Temur’s mentality exploded, and he spurred his horse, attempting to catch up with the Emperor.

At this moment, he deeply doubted whether his previous bowing was correct… Could this one really be comparable to the Taizu and Shizu Emperors?! Or would he push the Yuan dynasty even harder on the downward slope of destruction?
